Dog-friendly home steps from beach with yard, multiple decks, and arcade game

New in our program, this home has many great reviews from past guests.

Your own slice of Outer Banks paradise awaits at this family- and dog-friendly home, just minutes from the beach. With an unbeatable central location, you can step out the front door and walk to several nearby restaurants, or hop in the car for a quick drive north to Jockey's Ridge State Park or the Wright Brothers National Memorial, both about 30 miles away. Head south along the Cape Hatteras National Seashore to the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, a little over 20 miles away, with miles of glorious beach along the way. There are lots of watersport opportunities nearby as well.


At home, start the day with coffee and a glorious sunrise view from the top-level observation deck, then head downstairs to the swing on the screened porch for some quiet time before the day gets started. Multiple decks on each level, plus a large yard ideal for the kids and family dog to play, round out your outdoor space.

Inside, you'll find two levels of living space with comfortable coastal decor and plenty of room to spread out. The recently updated main living area features new flooring, new furniture, and a modern, well-equipped kitchen, with a full suite of stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, lots of cabinet space, and all the cookware you'll need to turn out family feasts - or just snacks for the beach. Grab a bite at the window-front dining tables on either level, then slip into your swimsuit and head for the beach.

When you return, rinse off the sand in the outdoor shower and toss the day's clothes in the washer/dryer for a quick refresh. If you've spent the day fishing, a convenient fish-cleaning table on the patio makes meal prep a breeze. Spend downtime at home in the comfy living room or den upstairs, with entertainment options including four TVs, free WiFi and cable, board games, and a tabletop retro arcade game machine featuring favorites like Donkey Kong and Pac-Man. Three well-appointed bedrooms promise a restful night's sleep, but not before one more visit to the observation deck for a nighttime toast under the stars to booking the perfect OBX retreat.

Home

This was a great home within a short walking distance to the beach. With access to the local pool made our stay much more enjoyable as the winds were hard and ocean swimming was not great. Very quiet neighborhood with ice cream at the end of the street. Tourist attractions were within an hour so it was a great stay.

Great house for small group

We just had three women for a long girls weekend and the house was perfect for us! We loved sitting on the porch swing in the mornings have coffee, and short walk to the beach and the sound to see beautiful sunsets!! We really enjoyed the arcade game as one of our group had never really played video games so it was entertaining to say the least! The beds slept good, upstairs shower is a little small, but the kitchen was well stocked which was nice. We enjoyed both the sitting areas but preferred the one upstairs with the two couches. It was a great house for our getaway weekend to relax and have fun!

Christmas stay

We definitely enjoyed the property. Unfortunately, we didn't receive the door code prior to arrival. It took almost an hour to gain access. The location and proximity to the beach were amazing. The downside was that there wasn't enough toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags, dish washer detergent. Check in and check out times are difficult. And the cleaners showed up an hour and a half earlier than check out. Communication with Vacasa has been challenging.

Our First Visit To The Outer Banks

The house was amazing. The only flaw is the tiny shower in the upstairs bathroom. It was a very easy walk to the beach. The sunrises and sunsets viewed from the very top deck were beautiful. My grandson and I enjoyed the arcade game we played it often.

Great place to stay!

We really enjoyed the space of this house. It was in a great location and clean! The only thing we did not enjoy was there were some people renting a house across the road from us who partied all hours of the night and were really loud all the time.

A great place to stay!

We loved this home. It was our second year staying here. The biggest drawback is the location of you are into all the shopping and activities that Nags Head had. Otherwise it is a fantastic escape away from crowds and traffic.

Wonderful and relaxing

This property was just as described, a short walk to the beach. We were in Waves to attend a family member's wedding and even though we were experiencing the rain and high surf from 2 hurricanes we had a great time. The house was beautiful, roomy and comfortable.

Lovely Home!

My brother and I stayed here over a long weekend. We were surfing so we were only there to sleep, and chill at the end of the day. However the home itself is so cool! Love the style, super spacious and just feels homey.

Spring Break 2023

What a beautiful house! Perfect for the kids and dog. We loved that there was enough room for everyone, including the extra seating area with the arcade game! Super clean and easy to access. Close to the beach, a short drive to the Salvo day use beach, and close to both Body Island Lighthouse and Hatteras Lighthouse. Couldn't asked for a more perfect way to spend Spring Break!

Excellent House and Great Value

I came down here to kitesurf. I've stayed in many places in OBX over the years, and this rates as one of the top - extremely well-kept, modern, not-dated, TV and cable in every room, WiFi, and a GRILL! The location is perfectly centralized. It's a short walk to the beach, bay, and to a few of the stores (Dollar General, pizza place, and the deli/supermarket). Easy to drive to kiting locations. You don't need much else. I would stay here again and recommend the house to my friends.
